The http server spec has had file chunking in it forever so why isn't this standard functionality for downloads from every browser? As a web developer can I use the Microsoft Store Download Manager to deliver files to clients by using some special http, javascript or ActiveX call?

For the Windows 7 RC, we have hosted the ISO on Akamai to make the file transfers much faster and hence use the Akamai download manager. I just tried going through the Win7 RC download process again to see if I could reproduce your issue and I didn't experience what you described. After signing in with my Windows Live ID and filling in the brief profile information, I was shown the download page. I clicked on "Download Now" and I was prompted to install the Akamai Download Manager, which I was able to do without any issues. The only thing I can suggest is to try an alternate browser like Firefox and see if you still encounter the issue?
